VME superNOVA Communications

Audience

This course is for technical support staff who will be involved in implementing, supporting and managing VME-based networks.

Prerequisites

This course is not suitable for anyone without VME system management experience. Such people should have first attended the courses such as VSCLP, VTS, VMENOVASCLP and VMENOVASMTS.

Duration

5 days. Hands on.

Course Objectives

The main topics covered on this course are:

• Network Architecture.
• VME communications cataloguing for the Ethernet and Full XBM protocols.
• Service and SAP structures for each of RSA, FTF, FTAM, DTS and ADI including the user Interface, Implementation on VME, Operational aspects and diagnostic Aids.
• TCP/IP Cataloguing.

On successful completion of this course delegates will be able to:

• Understand how VME-based networks are implemented.
• Implement and support the VME catalogued hierarchies which enable communications connections to be made.
• Implement, support and use on VME: Remote Session Access (RSA), File Transfer (FTF and FTAM), Distributed Transaction Systems (DTS) and Application Data Interchange (ADI).
